High Expectations is taken from the High Expectations EP, which will be released worldwide on November 27th via Boogie Angst. (BA009)

The EP features four crisp, rhythm-driven and synth-soaked tracks. David Dam contributes on two vocal driven songs which ooze crossover appeal and are effortless on either the dancefloor or the radio. The remaining two leftfield tracks, exhibit a more forward thinking electronic aesthetic.

2015 has @Ambassadeurs extremely busy with a slew of EPs and his debut album – “Patterns” released on Lost Tribe Records.

Now back in the studio recording his second album, Mark is dropping this EP in the interim to keep the fans sweet. He wrote these tracks during an escape in the autumn from the city to the countryside. The change of scenery from concrete to wilderness is reflected in the more organic sounds on this 4 tracker, which was written with the bare minimum of equipment to hand, even sampling some old cassettes that were left behind in the cottage where he was staying.

So while a simpler and more stripped back approach was adopted on this EP, it’s still distinctively his sound neatly executed to see a great year out.

Riotvan no. 10 – what a nice jubilee! And a perfect catalogue number to take a look at our back catalogue up to now and at the same time look ahead at the things we might cast in vinyl at some point in the future. Riotvan isn’t just a reflection, but also an inherent part and impulse in the electronic music scene of Leipzig. Gathering the inner circle of the Riotvan cosmos on one record for the first time, thus, seemed like a very logical step.

So RVN010 is the first so-called Various Artists in our roster. At the same time it marks the beginning of a new series, which will regularly lead our close and new friends on the field from now on.

This issue features: Good Guy Mikesh, who buffs up tapered sound sequences into the little slo house gem “Sparkles”. This is also the first new track on Mikesh’s release account ever since his EP “Year of The Horse”, which came out on Riotvan as well.
Then there is the hyper-dynamic “Marque Di Yard” by routine sidestepper Panthera Krause, which ogles with broken beats and should whet the appetite for his second Riotvan EP, due to be released soon. With “Perlenkette”, Filburt drops his first solo work in the label history – a tenderly whispered track from alien spheres with hit potential not to be underestimated.
Afterwards, Jennifer Touch, who recently released a project with Keinemusik’s own Adam Port on Pets Recordings, returns to her solo roots, delivering sleepwalking synth pop melancholia. Here, too, a new artist EP on Riotvan is in the making. If there’s one label which can be ascribed a certain like-mindedness towards Riotvan, it’s undoubtedly Permanent Vacation. Therefore, their puppet master Benjamin Fröhlich rounds up this compilation with “Star Fox”, which steers a middle course between direct and self-forgotten house bounce. Finally, on “Walking In Melbourne” Llewellyn plays out those house sketches which might be a bit too stringent for his alter ego Lake People, obviously not without infusing a fathomless deepness to its floor aptitude.

Sparkles (RIOTVAN | Various Artists - Familiar Faces Nº1)

Released 08.02.16.

Early last year we played at the small but perfectly formed, Oma Doris club in Dortmund. One of the residents that night was a young DJ by the name of Mr Fries, who during the night handed us a CD of demos.

Immediately impressed with what we heard, the idea of an EP was formed. 
Nearly a year later we are proud to present the newest member of the pack!

First up on remix duties is Hodini whose recent EP on Max Graef and Glenn Astro, Money $ex Records has been on constant rotation since it's release.

Hodini is an alias of prolific German Hip-Hop producer, Hulk Hodn and a major influence on Mr Fries who has sighted he was one of reason he was one of the main reasons he started to make beats.

To round of the EP we've enrolled long time friend Garth BE. The artist featured previously on WOLFEP003 back in 2009 with All The Thrills. Since then he has setup the fantastic Sweet Sticky Records, releasing two full length LPs to great acclaim.

Howdy folks, this a tribute to one of my favorite hip hop groups ever De La Soul. I tried to flip "Stakes Is High", but change the time signature from 4/4 to a 6/8. l wanted to keep the vibe of the original. 

So I flipped the Ahmad Jamal - Swahililand 
I hope you all dig

Lydmor & Bon Homme - the duo of Tomas Høffding and Jenny Rossander - are to release the third single from their exceptional debut LP.

‘Combining their powers like the Wonder Twins they have elevated the pop game with a touch of darkness, a smidgen of sass, and a whole lot of sex appeal’. (Nordic Spotlight) and now Tomas, (singer and bassist of Danish electronic pop trio WhoMadeWho) and Jenny (singer/ songwriter/ rising star) offer up ‘Missed Out On Disco’, a haunting piece of electronic pop presented here in four versions.

The original, which also appears on their album Seven Dreams of Fire, sees Lydmor and Bon Homme exchange vocals over a synth groove that echoes early 80s New Wave artists - a wistful, moving, modern pop classic.

Belgian electronic artist Pole Folder (Benoit Franquet) and Slovakia’s Just Hear team up on a killer remix which stretches the track out over seven and a half minutes and explores an even more emotional landscape. Jenny’s ethereal vocals are brought to the fore and swathes of melancholia are added through spacey pads and a stripped down, acid-tinged production.

Both the remix and original are also here in their instrumental versions, and draw attention to the amazing sound design and production Lydmor & Bon Homme are rightly celebrated for.

“I remember what you told me, “Screw this and let’s just - run forever - run forever - run forever” - the video has been directed by Gry Friis & Peter Iversen and edited by Christophe Dolcerocca.

Remix by @Ambassadeurs. 

"io is the next album track to be revealed from tsaik's forthcoming album, Lemon and unlike their recent single tehraj, it’s a more poignant affair. Found sounds, sublime guitar licks, Asian percussion, emotive pads and haunting vocals are just some of the things you’ll discover - all glued together with arpeggiated, glitchy textures and white noise. The result is an ever evolving journey of experimental electronic music that conjures up memories of the organically glorious beats of Bibio, Shlohmo and James Blake at their best leaving the listener comforted and relaxed."

io (Ambassadeurs Remix)

1 year after his gorgeous "Straight ahead" Ep, Tony Lionni gets back on Goldmin Music with a softer and deeper one "A photograph of you".
A very distinctive and insightful ep about the passing of time including plainly heartbreaking house tracks as he did so well up to now.
We've been amazed by Tony's music since the beginning as whatever he does, there's always a promise of something unexpected and a high dreaming potential..
That's what it's all about. House music for the 21st century, more conscious and lucid than ever with a hunk of optimism and faith in what the future can bring.

This musical tale starts with the unmistakable "Remember back when".. As it's name suggests, it might be an ideal flashback track, bringing back a warm and stained 90's vibe.
However, Tony is the master of evoking both the familiar and exploring the unknown, feeding your sense nostalgia while simultaneously inspiring visions of a hopeful future
As always, it's a perfect balance between dreamscape and reality as that irresistible groove deserves a very physical reaction, the urge to dance while it slowly brings out your inner-child.

"There's no future in the past" continues in a more ear-catching way thanks to his perfect straightforward arpeggio constantly pushing you combined with a round, dry and heavy bass quickly elevating the track to it's cruise altitude. The perfect example of a contemporary different dancefloor tune. 

"Together" brings your imagination back on track. Probably more abstract and hypnotic nonetheless it's power will be all the stronger.  It feels like a wonderful 6 minutes playground experience, high in the sky, a representational, half-conscious musical trip that makes your mind wonder.

What do you do when you are part-time bored, when you are part-time broke and – even better – when you claim to make and live dance music (of course, also part-time)? Well you are obviously running a record label. This is what Johannes Albert does since 5 fun years and 20 releases. Releasing his own music on vinyl but also his mates stuff. Frank will celebrate this anniversary among life & happiness early 2016 with two 12 inches and a lousy tour. Fred P lifting us up right from the start with his “Energy Cloud”. Soulful drum workouts make peace with heavenly layers. Far out bliss. Next in line is good friend Iron Curtis who is calling for sweet operators. Flip side offers our Session Victim boys first time on the label. Let’s have some moody juice wit’ Hauke & Matthias once and for all! Hidden Beauty is the kind of track you wouldn’t expect from Tim Toh of Philpot fame. Well it’s a beauty and now not so hidden anymore. Let’s just be frank shall we?

Best of 2016
